I've been told that I "bottle things up and then explode". How do you not "explode"?
This reminds me of something a European told me about dating in the US. "Americans say nothing is wrong and then blow up when it's a level 11 problem and i had no idea anything was wrong. Where I'm from we address it when it's a level 2 problem."
Be a level 2 problem, not a level 11 problem. That means you gotta fucking talk.

How do you effectively counter serious cognitive dissonance in loved ones?
I don't. It's never worked. I try really hard to not say, "That's the stupidest fucking shit I've heard since the last time I came here."

How One Uncaught Rust Exception Took Out Cloudflare
I feel like I've seen an insane number of error messages in various apps and websites around the unwrap method.
But this is on a result type, right? I'd figure the point would be that you would match on it and that the unwrap itself, which if my assumptions are correct, is more like get value or throw, should either not exist or take a default value. You shouldn't be able to directly get the value of a monad.

If I found voter irregularities in my home district do I have to hire a lawyer to prove it.? Or just let it go and the Florida Orange win?
Is there not the local election commission? How did you find it? If there's an individual, there's likely a way to report them.

Best place for a community alternative to Facebook group?
Piefed has an option for gallery layout for photo groups. https://join.piefed.social/2024/01/21/optimizing-image-communities-introducing-grid-view-masonry-for-improved-image-display/
Piefed is like Lemmy and can federate with it

I actually disagree, because I've both seen it everywhere and I also work mainly in dotnet, and when I've talked to people about option and result types, the first inclination is to have a .Value, but that defeats the purpose. I've done quite a few code reviews where I was essentially saying "you know this will throw, right? Use .Match or .Map instead".
I think the imperative programming backgrounds encourage this line of thinking, since one of the first questions I've gotten is "how do I get the value out of an Option? I'm 100% sure it's there." And often, surprise, it wasn't.

What goes well with celery?
In Louisiana we have the holy Trinity: onion, celery, and green bell pepper add the basis for most of our foods.
If you want something easy, maybe mix that with some scrambled eggs and rice. Otherwise, peanut butter? Haha
